As some say, TIFF stands for "Thousands of Incompatible File Formats".
32-bit FP has been in the TIFF format for ages. Looking at Wikipedia it was added in... 1992.
All modern image editors use 32-bit FP under the hood. Integer formats aren't accurate enough to avoid artifacts/round off errors, and floating point allows out-of-band values (ie channel values outside of the [0.0 .. 1.0] range).
